Creating entropy like one page items for any theme

  • Creating entropy like one page items for any theme

    Posted 11 years 2 weeks ago
    • I am embarking on my first of a few one page designs as the mainstream is finally clamouring for them.
      Entropy does all I need structurally except it is not repsonsive... So I am trying to build a toolbox of tricks to apply to any of the RT themes.

      1) I have the basic idea of <a id="myanchor" name="myanchor"></a>
      to use menu items to navigate down page.

      2) I also would like to add a back to top button on very article within the home page.Assuming that entropies homepage is a set of articles in a category blog is there a simpl eay to add a back to top button on very article? Or do we need to hard code the back to top by sending it to the topmost anchor?

      3) After that is done I am hoping I can borrow module suffix styling to apply on each article. Effectively making each article have a different background/header style and potentially removing padding... will any of the suffixes work as page classes?
      I did see refrence to adding some lines of code to the rttemplatename_custom.css file

      The goal to get the cool layered section effect usually done by gantry module positions.

      Does this theory work?

    • 1) ok

      2) you'll need to "hardcode" it, call it at the bottom of every article... it's a visible element/anchor and you can't pull it in any other way that I can think of...
      <a href="#" id="gantry-totop" rel="nofollow" style="outline: none;"><span class="icon-angle-up"></span></a>

      //you'll need to define the "icon-angle-up" class if you want the little carrot ^ in there (FA icon)

      3) some parts of some module class suffixes may work... you just have to play with them... often times though they target sub-selectors of the main module wrap like rt-block and module-surround to add borders, margins, padding... so in those instances, no, they won't transfer over well
